Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Out-of-the-way location — The guesthouse is a bit isolated, about 15 minutes by car from the station, and some guests say you need the pickup service or a car.
- Limited food options — Meals are Japanese style only, with no western alternatives, which may not suit all palates.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 3pm to 11pm, and the free pickup from the station is only between 4pm and 5pm, so arrival times need planning.
- Rooms can feel a bit basic — Some guests found the room clean but a little uncomfortable, though the traditional style is part of the charm.
